And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!

He shall see the travail of His soul, and shall be fulfilled. By His knowledge shall My righteous Servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities.

For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so will your God rejoice over you.

Jehovah your God is mighty in your midst; He will save. He will rejoice over you with joy; He will quiet you in His love. He rejoices over you with joyful praise.

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank You, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed them to babes.

Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

Then they took away the stone from where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You gave Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

And I have made known to them Your name, and will make it known, that the love with which You love Me may be in them, and I in them.

i1 [A Psalm of David.] i0 par The earth is Jehovah's, and the fullness of it; the world, and those who dwell in it.

Thus says Jehovah, Heaven is My throne, and earth My footstool. Where, then, is the house that you would build for Me? And where is the place of My rest?

He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot bring about their success;

They meet with darkness by day, and grope at midday as in the night.

therefore, behold, I will again do among this people something extraordinary and wonderful. For the wisdom of their wise ones shall perish, and the understanding of their intelligent ones shall be hidden.

God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you immersed into the name of Paul?

that no one should say that I had immersed into my name.

For Christ did not send me to immerse, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the intelligent.

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who are believing.

but we preach Christ crucified, truly to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness,

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature; but not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become foolish that he may become wise.

and again, The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

But also if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,

that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the full true knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ,

in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings You have ordained strength, because of Your enemies, that You might remove the enemy and the avenger.

The secret of Jehovah is with those who fear Him; and He will make them know His Covenant.

And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of their gloom and darkness.

And the meek shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

And a highway shall be there, even a road; and it shall be called, The Way of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it. Whoever travels on it, though a fool, shall not go astray.

He answered and said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of Heaven, but to them it has not been given.

Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

for the heart of this people has grown dull, their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, that they should not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, nor understand with their heart and convert, and I should heal them.

And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in Heaven.

and said to Him, Do You hear what these are saying? And Jesus said to them, Yes. Have you never read, Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise?

Truly, I say to you, Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are mighty;

that no flesh should boast in His presence.

However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature; but not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, having been hidden, which God appointed before the ages for our glory,

Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,

as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby,

having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

In Him also we have been assigned to an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,
